Are there alternative ways to strand a pearl necklace?

I had my set for about a year and they broke apart. I had them restrung twice and they just broke again at one of the knots! Is there another way – a stronger way- to strand pearls while still keeping them from rubbing against each other? I only wear them to work and take them off right away and I am always very gentle. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this choker I like that I really want to wear. However, it’s a little old and has gathered some rust. I certainly don’t want rust rubbing against my neck all night. Does anybody know how I can get it off?
I have no idea what it is made of. Sorry.
Also, it’s a unique necklace so I don’t want to throw it away. I doubt I’d find another like it.

I went in to Dillard’s today to go splurge on a MAC blending brush. I knew they sold Mac at Dillards, but the only makeup I’d ever gotten from there was Clinique and Lancome. So Imagine my surprise when I found out the reason I’d never seen it there (I thought it was because I wasn’t paying attention) is because they don’t carry Mac in their smaller markets. So I can’t get NYX, there’s no LUSH store, there’s no Sephora or Ulta, and now I know why I’ve never remembered wandering past the MAC. But hey, I can get fresh sweet corn. GRRRRR. Anyhow, something caught my eye….

    I suppose you had them strung on silk? There is a nylon thread available that is stronger, it can be knotted as well. There is also professional jewelry wire available. It has a number of micro wires twisted together and then coated with nylon. This would be the strongest possibility, but you cannot knot it. You could have different little beads threaded in between the pearls to keep them from rubbing. That depends a bit on the quality of the pearls and which look you like.
    Cheers
